Matthew 6:26-34
26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you — you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
How about a "new" set of skills?
Are all the "skills" we pass on in our society useful, practical, sustainable?
If the power goes out - permanently - in our part of the world, who would be able to even survive long-term?
For thousands of years people have lived on the same grounds you are standing on right now - without electricity!
What were their skills?
Here is one of them - to thrive!
Science
Heating a backyard studio with soda cans as solar panels
Technology
Homemade manual wood splitter
Engineering
Make a counter-top Aquaponic's system, grow organic Strawberry's and Crayfish.
This is - of course - just a scratch on the surface of a new set of skills, skills that empower free and sovereign human beings to be all they are created to be, the kings and queens of the earth as the Sons and Daughters of God, the Creator of the Universe..
